Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what the cost was to his Department of the publication and
distribution of circulars and consultation documents in (a) 1997-98 (b) 1998-99 and (c) 1999-2000. [134711]
Mr. Wills: Full information in the form requested is not available. Details of the costs of production of such materials are not
specifically categorised as circulars or consultations by the Department and are therefore not collected centrally. Instead
information on marketing and publicity products is recorded for each particular marketing campaign and broken down by the type of
media employed to deliver the information.

predecessors, spent in real terms on circulars relating to education. [132414]
Mr. Wills: Information on the Department's circular communications relating to education is not available in a form which would
enable comparable figures for the expenditure on those circulars for each of the years 1979 to 2000 to be compiled without incurring
disproportionate cost.

Jacqui Smith: Following the commitment made by the Secretary of State to cut by one third the number of documents and by a half the
number of pages sent automatically to all schools in the next school year, this Department is reviewing all plans to send documents
to schools from September 2000. When that review has been completed, I will write to the hon. Member with a list of planned
documents and place copies in the House of Commons Library.

Control standards for National Health Service acute trusts were issued in November 1999 and a circular was issued on 11 February
setting out a timetabled programme of action to strengthen arrangements for the prevention and control of infection in hospitals.

Mr. Denham: The Department uses a wide range of media to communicate with National Health Service staff, including electronic
communications via the internet and NHSnet; paper communications such as newsletters, magazines and circulars; and face to face
briefings such as conferences, seminars and roadshows. The National Blood Authority uses a similar range of internal media to keep
its staff informed about developments both within the blood service and in the wider NHS. This includes intranet technology, written
material and face to face briefings.

Mr. Campbell-Savours: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what measures have been introduced in the last three years by Her
Majesty's Government to reduce (a) the level of bureaucratic duplication, (b) burdens on professional staff and (c) administrative
difficulties in the application and use of information technology at a local level. [116857]
Ms Stuart: Our consultation on information management and technology in the National Health Service resulted in the publication of
the national Information Strategy "Information for Health", which describes a number of national measures that are intended to
reduce the administrative burden on NHS staff.
"Information for Health" is a national strategy for local implementation. Each health community is responsible for developing its
own Local Implementation Strategy (LIS). The purpose of the LIS is to describe how each local community will develop its own
information systems to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of care, including reducing unnecessary bureaucracy and
administrative duplication.
The national initiatives that are intended to support LISs and local health organisations are wide ranging and include: A reduction
in the number of central communications and changing the style of communications to electronic format. Since February 2000 the
Department has been issuing weekly chief executive bulletins by e-mail to NHS organisations and local authorities. The number of
circulars is being greatly reduced and used only for urgent and high priority messages. The full circulars are published on the
Department's website and the e-mailed bulletin provides an immediate notification and summary of what has been published with a link
to the full document. "Project Connect" will provide 24 hour, 7 day a week, desktop access for general practitioners and primary
care teams to an improved service covering e-mail, online information and knowledge, appointment booking, referrals, discharge
summaries, radiology and laboratory test results. The costs of connecting primary care to NHSnet are being met centrally. After
considerable work on this project over the last two years, a significant watershed is now being reached with critical mass of
infrastructure and connection of GPs being achieved in many places. "NHS Direct" was launched two years ago. Researchers have found
evidence to suggest that the introduction of "NHS Direct" has been associated with halting an upward trend in demand for out of
hours services. The "NHS Direct" on-line website service launched last year provides the public with a direct gateway to the best of
health information on the internet. A national procurement review has been undertaken to identify what can be done to ensure that
local health organisations do not have to undergo unnecessarily burdensome bureaucratic processes when purchasing information
systems. The aim is to ensure that work undertaken by local organisations will ensure the best possible solution for local
healthcare delivery, keeping administrative overheads to a minimum. To achieve this communities are expected to implement nationally
agreed standards, and make use of national call-off contracts and supporting documentation. The NHS Information Authority is in the
process of developing, agreeing and implementing a range of national information and information technology standards that will then
be implemented as part of LISs. The standards will facilitate a reduction in the number of times patient information is collected;
improve the quality of communication between healthcare professionals and the quality/consistency of information available across
the health service. Electronic access to this information throughout the NHS will multiply the benefits already experienced by more
advanced sites locally and have a significant impact upon the administrative burden. "Information for Health" is underpinned by an
education, training and development strategy "Working Together with Health Information". This strategy, published in December 1999,
builds upon previous work to develop NHS-wide standards for information proficiency, and will make use of virtual technologies to
provide local NHS staff with the access to learning resource that they need. The initiative will ensure that the lessons learned in
one health organisation are available to other organisations and thereby allow more informed decision-making about the kinds of
intervention required. At the same time the approach will help prevent duplication of effort where effective solutions have been
identified.
